Sorry to disappoint you, but SEO is a difficult ball game. It needs knowledge, experience and more than that patience. I can list any number of SEO methods but unless one take action consistently and persistently one will not succeed.

My suggestions:

1. Read as much as you can about SEO techniques (not black hat).
2. Read SEO guidelines from big daddy GOOGLE.
3. Implement consistently what you have learned.
4. Test, Test, Test-Make changes and improvement wherever necessary.
5. Do not go for short cuts if you want to stay longer and at top.
